SpeedRead Digital Thermometer

This thermometer is fast and easy to use, which really matters when dealing with a sick child. Readings are consistent and feel accurate, and it gives results quickly without a lot of fuss or guesswork. Simple design, easy to read screen, and reliable when you need it most. A solid, no hassle thermometer to keep on hand.

After my last thermometer quit working, I needed something that would work quickly and easily for my family- with kids ranging in age from 16- 2 months, we all know speed is of the essence (esp when trying to take a toddlers temperature). This thermometer was at a comparable price and it works exactly as stated. I really appreciate the speed readings, esp for the younger kids, and the different indicator lights are great, too. There have been multiple times I've taken someone's temp in the dark and this makes it that much easier to not disturb those that are trying to rest while sick. I also have one of those infrared head reader types of thermometers, but I never know how truly accurate those are, I feel this is a more efficient way to get an accurate reading- which is so important to me when it comes to fevers in kids!

This is a very basic electronic thermometer. It does exactly what it is supposed to and is rather easy to read. It takes a reading quickly and it’s simple design functions exactly as it should.

So far so good. Quick, accurate and easy to use. Storage isn't great, but just keep the box. Easy to read, good for price.

I've used a few other quick read thermometers. A few major things I noticed are great about this one in particular; the battery life, the ability to change the battery out, and the quick accuracy in which you get a reading. The waterproof coating makes it easy to sanitize, and you can clean it quickly with some soap and hot water. The display is also really nice, the color coded display lets you know at an instant if you're normal, above grade, or running a fever. It was able to catch a fever as it was starting, which led to being able to get medication in my system and rest before the chills and aches could really set in. It's smooth seamless, and the quickness of it would make it easy to test kids temperature readings without having to sit with it in their mouth for long. Overall a really great product I would gladly buy again!

How did I ever live without this. It does all that it says it does. I love the colors that change depending on the temperature reading, and the large numbers. It IS fast! I haven't taken the time to compare or check accuracy against other thermometers - but assume that Vicks knows what they are doing, and that it will be well within acceptable tollerance for accuracy. That it's so fast means you get a QUICK read - when children or fussy or feeling badly. That is a GOOD thing. I love it - and I'm so glad we've made so much progress on this front. The only thing I don't know yet, is how long the battery will last. One note - the battery compartment is VERY VERY tight. Not a bad idea to put a little vaseline on the cap when you take it off, to make it easier to spin off next time. Other than that - no concerns at all. Thanks VICKS!

Accurate and easy to use. Battery is CR2016. Fast reading around 8-10seconds and very portable. Screen is easy to read.

Accuracy approved with comparison of 3 same devices Vicks SpeedRead Digital. Absolutely same temperature on all 3 devices. The only one water-resistant thermometer on Amazon, with 8 sec fastest speed results. Amazing product!
